Give my regards to those who stay back
for reasons unknown or too much for me to comprehend
Philistine and his brown paper sack
ring around his lips forgot his painted friends
says he's found the secret to life
possesions are everything to the lost man
as he held out his rusted knife
but the poor man will make it to the Promised land
I blinked and signed my name in the book
a residential guest at the Heart Break Hotel
the street divas always give second looks
in hopes for an hour with you outside of hell
Tolerance and Micah brought their photographs
of times when the poets carried cell phones
and no one ever cared for autographs
but they really hated being alone
Napkins and boxes .....match stick men
give me a reason to sing again
give me a reason to clear my throat
down in a small hole in the wall
